Old Swan Tea Rooms - Speisekarte

Very unwelcoming member of staff. Don 't put hot things on the table . Hard to do in a cafe. Couldn 't wait to clear our table. Tasteless cawl. Cash only. Not a good advert for Welsh tourism.

We were a group of 31 elderly people. They accomodated us with only 24 hours notice. Very good food, with generous portions, at a resonable price and very friendly service. We were lucky to have found this cafe.

Passing though en route to the coast decided to stop. Good food, great value and friendly staff. What’s not to like? I highly recommend their “ultimate sandwich” but there is a wide variety of food and cake on offer. Speisekarte ansehen

My Wife ordered a cream tea, I ordered a Welsh tea, never had Bara Brith and why have I waited till is am 60. It was so good we bought a whole cake so now enjoying it at home in Suffolk. The staff were 1st class can’t wait to go back to Wales

This is a fabulous café. We recently attended a family funeral in Rhayader and up to 18 of us ate wonderful breakfast here prepared fresh for us every morning in the week. The ladies operating here are absolutely lovely true and caring professionals. Cannot say enough about these ladies and their food. Excellent food delivered to a high standard by kind and caring people.

When to buy six cakes to takeaway but there were no prices shown of the ones in the glass cabinet. So left. With the way prices are rocketing it’s very important to display prices so people will know if they have enough cash and they don’t want to keep asking. I usually buy my cakes from Marks and Spencer or Waitrose as I find these little delis and independent bakeries can be very expensive Speisekarte ansehen

Beautiful looking little tea room. However, tried to get a coffee, when I asked if they had a milk alternative, No, just cows was the reply without a hint of a smile or friendliness. There was quite a large sign on the front of the counter telling customers to ask about allergens/dietary requirements and staff would help. It 's a shame, even basic soy milk would do and yet they seem to have no interest. Ty Morgan 's next door were very obliging and had 3 milk alternatives to offer.

A lovely warm welcome to the place and took a tight table in the window because it was almost full. The window seat was great to watch the world go by.My wife had the leek and potato soup and thoroghly enjoyed it. My pasty and chips came with some of the best chips I have had and the pasty was good. This was followerd by rock cake and tiramisu. yummy. The friendly staff were welcoming to all and I noticed that they paid extra care to the eldrly locals, so nice to see an unhurried service with warm staff. Thanks again.

Passing through town at 2pm, we wanted to buy food to take away and eat later. Thinking we would get something nice, and possibly homemade, we stopped at this cafe because it had a bakery counter. As soon as we entered, the woman at the counter said, in an unfriendly manner, and without any other greeting, “we’re only serving take away drinks and what’s on display in the cabinet”. There were no prices on the products. The woman told me the price of the Welsh Cakes, which I deemed to be rather high. None of the other products looked as though they’d been made with any flair, creativity or pride. I now wish I’d left without buying anything, because my mistake was to then ask for a small chicke...
